In the VPS management dashboard, navigate to the Server Information tab.

Here, you will find important details about your Windows VPS, including the server hostname and server IP address.

This section provides a quick overview of your server’s key identifiers, helping you easily manage and connect to your VPS.

VPS Control Panel


Under the VPS control panel, you will see several sections displayed in separate boxes.

On the leftmost box, you will find the Server Information, which includes essential details such as the server hostname, server name, server IP, RDP username, and RDP password.

Next to the server IP, RDP username, and RDP password, there are convenient icons that allow you to copy these details to your clipboard for easy access at any time.

Power Control & OS Reload

In the middle box, you will find all the essential power and OS reload controls for your Windows VPS. These include options to start, restart, shutdown, and power off your server.

Additionally, if needed, you can also use the Reinstall option to reinstall the operating system.

On the right side box, you will find your server’s power status, such as whether it is currently running, along with details about your VPS plan, including Cores, RAM, and HDD size.

Additionally, there is a How to Connect button that will direct you to the relevant section of our knowledge base for easy access to connection instructions.

VPS Console

In the VPS Console box, you will find two buttons: “Show VPS Console” and “Open Console Page”.

  • The “Show VPS Console” button provides a quick screen view of your VPS status.

  2. Restore Snapshot: This option allows you to restore a snapshot you previously created, returning your VPS to its exact state at the time of the snapshot.
  3. Delete Snapshot: Use this option to delete a snapshot that you no longer need.
  4. Reset VPS Network: This is a valuable tool if you accidentally disable the network on your VPS or change the network IP. Clicking this option will revert the network settings to their default state, helping you regain access to your VPS.
